This idea that every crisis feels like the end of the world until we forget it rings painfully true. The way you bring severity and memory into conversation makes it clear that panic isn’t just about the event, but about how short our timeline of perspective often is. It reminded me of standing too close to a painting so all you see is a dark smudge, and only when you step back do you realise it’s part of a much larger scene. Your words feel like that gentle hand on the shoulder telling us to take three steps back before deciding that everything is doomed.
